I love that it’s about two Indigenous kids and we are watching their adventures and them growing up in the world and that they are being taught what it means to be on country. And this show shows the diversity of what country means.
About Little J and Big Cuz
The first Indigenous animated series broadcast on Australian television, Little J and Big Cuz introduces viewers to the culture, stories and experiences of Australia’s First Peoples. Most of all, the show is about ordinary kids going to school, learning new things and having fun.
What a beautiful way for young learners to build understanding around culture and country, share stories and create connections!
A note for teachers
Little J and Big Cuz is an Australian animated series, the main characters are Little J and Big Cuz, a couple of Indigenous kids living with their Nanna and their pet dog, Old Dog. There is a host of other characters who are part of their world and contribute to themes and stories relating to friendship, family and community. Much of the action takes place at home, in the backyard and at school. Sometimes the family leaves this everyday world and goes on adventures to Saltwater, Desert or Freshwater Country where they find out about culture, community and country.
